This week Budiak returns to knock a podcast ball out of the park for a touchdown. GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL!!! Irrelevant sports references aside, we wrap the year by discussing embarrasing moments in video gaming, the best game of the year on any platform, the most disappointing television show, and previously unknown hidden talents/superpowers. Canned meats that are rivaled by some pet food are tasted (I swear I can still taste them when I burp).

Apologies for the audio, after setting up our fancy microphones Dash forgot to flip a switch and instead recorded from the built-in microphone on the computer. It's audible, if a little echoey. On the positive side, you can totally hear HeartHugs in this one even though we didn't mic her.

This week Dash is joined by HeartHugs again to give the gift of podcast to you, the listener. You can't return it, there are no exchanges or refunds. You can only give more podcast to those you love, so spread the holiday cheer! A festive beverage is imbibed, and discussion of holiday traditions leads to an important topic about TV shows that were too good to be on TV. Do yourself a favor and watch all the shows we talk about, you won't find better television if you tried. What else are you going to watch, Survivor 87? Phfeh I say!

This week Dash is joined by a man bold enough to use his real name as a handle: PatHaugen. (We've always just called him PeeTree.) Either way, we really get back to roots this episode and discuss nerdy things: video games, comic book tv shows and movies, and anime. Reviews take a stomach-turning twist as we eat food that THE MAN tells you that you should no longer be eating because some arbitrary date on the packaging has passed. PHFAW I say, food is bad when it smells or tastes bad not because some number has been breached.

This week, Dash sits down with HeartHugs to discuss handles and how they change, Nerdery versus Geekery, and an unsuprising lack of video games. Thats not true, we do discuss Tetris, FarmVille and Bejeweled and other "Match 3" type games. The palate is confused and bewildered with foods made from unexpected things, and the show peters to a halt just like you'd expect any other episode of the cast to.

Send me an email if you'd like to be entered into a drawing to win a one of a kind, HeartHugs designed Dynamitegun Dot Com Dot Cast greeting card, good for literally ANY occasion.

This week Dash flies solo with no guest. As exciting as that sounds, the show must go on, and so it does as a PSA about password security is given.

Show notes:

I totally forgot to talk about the opening music. See what having no guest does to me? Music was the first song (Opening Credits) off my favorite album (Wide Angle) by UK electronic duo (Hybrid). You need this album: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/wide-angle/id365455921

This week the nonstop parade of new guests to the show fails to cease as Maul0r joins Dash to talk about working for the man! Seriously though, it's a long conversation about employment, so if you nod off for a bit that's cool. BUT! Set an alarm or something because near the end coconut delicacies are enjoyed. How else will you know what strawberry coconut frozen dessert tastes like? Finally, additional light is shed on the secret origins of Dash's succulent (see week 31 for the full story).

This week Dash opens the circle to a Nameless One. This man without a handle is christened after much deliberation, and booze far too fine for this podcaster's palate is consumed. Various (discount) meats are ingested to varying acceptance, and THE BEST COOKIES YOU WILL EVER EAT are devoured. HeartHugs gets on the mic for a couple minutes; one of these days Dash with have the foresight to properly mic the participants of the show. Until then, deal with it, this is Real Life™.

This week Dash and Logical Gambit discuss the spookiest non-holiday of them all, Halloween. Early childhood memories are drudged up and laid bare to be picked apart. Stolen candy is consumed. LG lends more evidence to the earlier claim that we were friggin' nerds man, who had way too many LAN parties. Profanity was at a minimum, but LG can't seem to remember our handles. Other shows might consider editing that sorta thing out, but this is Real Life™. DEAL.

This week Dash fully wrests control of the show from Budiak and the universe did not implode as a result. Tinygod indulges with discussion about LAN parties; about how games (and gamers) aren't quite like they used to be; and the terror of becoming a parent. F-bombs were dropped. Various Carmel Apple fascimiles are pondered and ulitimately rejected.

This week Budiak joins Dash16 via remote technomagic to discuss trivial trivia. An unprecedented number of Pumpkin Spice offerings are sampled and reviewed so that you don't have to, and then we delve deep on the nonsense that simulation-based games have devolved to.

Budiak loses control of his show to usurper Dash16. No really, he'll be hosting for the next couple weeks. Discussion of booze, getting old, succulents, iPhone 6 BendGate. Reviewed 7 Oriental culinary mysteries. Oh those Orientals, always up to something.

This week, Budiak forges a new path into the unknown (to him). Contemplating the potential power of video, he talks for ten minutes about things he just doesn't understand.

For all of the new listeners- a new listener's guide to the Dynamitegun Dot Com Dot Cast. Budiak also talks about beer, 7 Days to Die, his waning interest in sandbox games, and some new games he's playing.

This week LG and Budiak try to make magic and mostly fall flat. It's ok- it picks up about 1/3 the way through. Who are you to judge? You think you can fake the funk for three hours a week? Go start your own show.

We talk about hobo strategies, beer, a little bit of video games, a little bit of Disneyland, our worst fears, and end up with a discussion on fancy wines (or something).

Finally, we review caviar, which is when things really take a turn. Have you ever had your hands completely coated in fish egg brine? It's disgusting. At the very end, a little but of class warfare ensues which threatens the entire Dynamitegun Dot Com Dot Cast universe (not really).

Oh, FOLKS. This week I chat in the first ever live podcast of all time. Come along with Budiak and Logical Gambit us as we blaze trails and make fools of ourselves discussing things of which we have ZERO knowledge.

Listen in on the audio reproduction of a live video cast. Be warned, there are some elements which may not translate. What's the difference? Don't you have an imagination?

This week, Mook joins me virtually in studio for the most positive show to date. How about we try something like taking some mail for a change? That happens every now and again. How about talking about online dating? Because NOBODY does that. After feeling sorry for ourselves, we reenergize with some very healthy snacks.

This week, we dial it back a bit. After some minor retractions from last week's show, Budiak shares a recipe with the audience, waxes geriatric about podcast and Instragram groupies, and tried to set the record straight on the real meaning of dedication to craft. Then, reviews of some true survival food.

This week, Phylah returns for a lengthy converstaion about alcohol (strange, right?), lots of talk about music and life experience, and then some delicious smoky reviews. We finish the show up with some questions from Ffej and maybe we finally hone in on the PERFECT closer.

Oh, folks. This week LG joins me in the virtual studio high atop the palatial estate and helps me flesh out some serious issues. What issues? Well, I would love to be snarky and tell you to listen, but I'll list a few. The value of a day's work, for one. How about some songs that should be banned from the radio? How about a POP QUIZ, HOTSHOT?? Then maybe a bunch of green tea flavored confections sure to please?

This week Budiak flies solo again in order to recuperate from last week's show. Join him as he drinks cold Japanese coffee, discusses the futility of advertising, reads some mail, and fixes some of the damage done to his reputation last week.

Subscribe on the iTunes store, and leave me good feedback. If you don't like the show, take your opinion and go to hell!

Sorry about the audio quality. I don't know what the hell happened but I'll have to try to fix it before the next cast.

OH, folks! Join me with the venerable RPM this week as we discussed so many things that to attempt to list them all here would be an insult to the craft! Wine, beer, the apocalypse, oral surgery, and preparation is all fair game here. Are you prepared for almost five hours of Dynamitegun?

Please keep in mind there were significant technical difficulties in the production of this cast. At roughly 2:13:30 the call drops. In the original file, it results in about a 22.5 second delay which destroyed the sync. I have updated the file. If you have downloaded the show and need to re-download and are having an issue with redownloading in your iOS podcast app, you may have to delete the cast and resubscribe in order to re-download the file. Pain in the neck, I know...but I had to do it! SO CAN YOU.

This week I have a pinch hitter step in for RPM. Dash16 joins me again to talk about our latest video game obsession, 7 Days to Die, Minecraft, Counterfeit Wargaming Miniatures, and lots more. I read three letters, we discuss how bad it would actually be to fight IG88, and we review some freeze dried backpacking food.

This week on the Dot Cast, Phylah sits gest hosts the show and gets into many delicious beverages. Topics include whether or not we are adults (hint: I'm not), beer (duh), and a fantastic box of delights from the orient. The first ever fan/cohost supplied reviews!

Lots of Warhammer talk. Phylah answers the three questions- and an extra question. We test the limits of Budiak's tolerance (for alcohol), and lots more sidebars.

This week, Budiak is painfully cold and alone in the frigid fog-rolled confines of the palatial estate. He talks about the perils of beginning a Warhammer 40k hobby and how useless real world experience actually is. Then he takes an extremely important question from a friend of the show. Finally, he reviews another canned fish item. Is he becoming a hack? A parody of himself?! Maybe??!?

budiak@dynamitegun.com with any questions about how I will fight gargantuan animals, or a multitude of tiny ones (that used to be big). You know. The issues.

Oh, folks! I hope you are not emotionally attached to your hats; you have have to hold on tight! Dash16 joins me remotely via a technological nightmare of wizardry and copper wire to talk about the issues. He chimes in on the gamer discussion from last week, Budiak goes ham on a number of disparate subjects, and we talk about how great the show is. You know, REAL LIFE.

Live to tape from KublaCon! From the Presidential Suite at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, CA. This episode we talk about what it means to be a gamer, some of our best and worst moments in gaming, beer, and we overmodulate a LOT. Then, a veritable bounty of reviews. With special guests RPM, LogicalGambit, Mook, KC, and Phylah. And holy crap, its three hours long!

Also, NO editing. Dynamitegun is REAL LIFE. BOOYA!

Also, caution, there is one bad word in here. I didn't use it...but it's there.

This week, Budiak talks about how great the internet USED to be. He also talks about the relativity of fame, blogger tweens, and gelatinous cubes. Ever heard a guy try to pry a wine cork out of a bottle with a pair of pliers? Wow, what a hum dinger! That's REAL LIFE, now on the Dot Com Dot Cast!

Just an update! Budiak talks too much about running, reviews liquified beets, and airs a gripe about presumptive corn shuckers. Oh, and he starts a new show numbering convention that you won't immediately notice!

This week, Budiak updates the listening audience member and lets him know that he survived the trip. He talks about not turning stuff off ever, broken electronics, and takes some pills in the middle of the show. Blessedly short, but still kicking!

Budiak talks about not knowing jack about the ocean, discount marital aids on Groupon, and more people of Costco. Also, dumb Pinterest "recipes" and a trifecta of fishy reviews. All this and little more on the Dynamitegun Dot Com Dot Cast!

This week, Budiak goes on about Russian beer, classic film (and forgets most of the names), and daredevils. He also reviews some survival food, spicy chocolate, and a spoon or sorts. He THEN goes on to ramble about slow moving Costco types and what seems to be a forced social commentary.
